The room is very bright.

Ying Niang is leaning sideways, her black hair is tied up, she is wearing a lake-colored jacket, a plain blue Hunan skirt, and red gold willow leaf earrings hanging from her ears. Looking from a distance, the golden light is shining, as if it has been left behind.

A ray of sunshine in the world.

Opposite her stood Xu Sijie, who was a head taller than her.

He wore an eggplant-purple Hangzhou silk trousers by Fang Shengwen. His delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his clear eyes were full of worry.

I have already asked for leave from my husband. It doesn't matter. Xu Sijie lowered his voice in a cold voice with a hint of tact. She is her eldest cousin and has been staying here to take care of her mother. He said, showing a bit of guilt. It should be changed.

I'm here. Cousin, let's go and have a rest.

Ying Niang burst out laughing when she heard Shi Yi Niang still sleeping. She hurriedly covered her mouth and said after a while: "It's your mother. Isn't it my aunt? She slept a lot in the middle of the night and took care of you for several days."

I haven't closed my eyes at night. There is no need to substitute. Fifth cousin, let's go to school quickly. Seeing you working hard, aunt is more happy than anything else. It's a hundred times a thousand times better than you sitting here.

Xu Sijie couldn't help but laugh at San Ran.

He passed the college examination in February. Eleven Niang was very happy and made him two clothes with her own hands. She also gave him a Duan Inkstone from which he won the first prize.

Go quickly, go quickly. Yingniang smiled and said, I am here.

Xu Sijie hesitated and looked towards Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang felt as if she was eavesdropping and closed her eyes subconsciously.

Then, okay. After a long while, Xu Sijie said. If mother wakes up, you should ask her what's wrong and whether she should ask a doctor. If you can't make up your mind, send a boy to Dou Ge's hometown. Father heard that mother

I feel uncomfortable. I will definitely come back, I understand. Yingniang smiled and seemed a little disapproving of his wordiness.

Xu Sijie also heard it. He stood there and looked at Yingniang, as if she would not leave unless she agreed.

Isn't there a fourth cousin and a fourth cousin? After a while, Yingniang said helplessly. Why should we abandon the near and seek the far away? Today is Mr. Dou Ge's birthday, let's go looking for it like this. Wouldn't it make people laugh? After saying this, she paused for a while.

, and said, even the fourth cousin and the fourth cousin could not make up their minds. Isn’t there the fifth aunt and the second aunt? You go to your school, I know what to do. His tone seemed to be sending Xu Sijie away.

Xu Sijie's face turned red and he had to admit that what Ying Niang said made sense.

Then I'm leaving. Mother is awake. Remember to bring me a letter. After explaining it, he left the inner room in a state of embarrassment.

Ying Niang looked at his back and smiled.

The maid Wanxiang hurriedly whispered: Miss, this is not at home, and the fifth young master is not our young master. Mr. Kang has been taught by you since he was a child, and he is used to it. Be careful what you say.

It's okay. Yingniang smiled and said, he has a good temper and won't take it to heart. Even his fourth cousin, second cousin and even the eldest cousin and third cousin from Sanjing Hutong are all very easy-going towards others. Don't worry.

His tone was very affirmative. He didn't even mention Mr. Jiang.

Eleven Niang became a little curious and opened her eyes. She heard the maid saying hurriedly: My good lady, this is in the girl's room. If the girl hears you talking about people behind their backs like this, I'm afraid she will feel bad in her heart.

unhappy

Ying Niang smiled sheepishly and put her arms around Wan Xiang's shoulders: Okay, okay. Is it okay if I'm wrong?

The mother's eyes met.

Ouch, her face is blushing and she looks embarrassed. When did the first mother wake up?

Eleven Niang didn't want to embarrass her. She smiled and said: She was sleeping so hard that she woke up when she heard someone was accompanying her.

Yingniang pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes twinkling. She looked very happy.

Does Aunt want a drink of water? She hurriedly stepped forward to help Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang sat up on her own: OK, please give me a glass of water.

Ying Niang responded, Wan Xiang had already poured a cup of warm water and brought it over.

Eleven Niang took a tea cup and casually looked around the room and found that only Ying Niang was the master and servant.

Fourth cousin sister-in-law Song's mother, Guan Qing's family, all have things to do. Yingniang immediately said, "I am the only one who is free, so I will stay with you here."

Is the discomfort caused by headache or chest tightness?

It’s okay. Eleven Niang smiled and drank the water. In this weather, it’s hot under a thick quilt and cold under a thin quilt. It’s just that I didn’t sleep well at night. Ying Niang looked at Eleven Niang carefully for a while and saw Eleven Niang’s

My mood was very good, and I felt relieved.

Fourth cousin sister-in-law came to ask you something. Guan Qing's family said you should take a rest. Fourth cousin sister-in-law was a little worried and came to see you. Those mothers in charge were waiting for fourth cousin sister-in-law to say something. Fourth cousin sister-in-law was afraid of disturbing you, so she let her go.

Baozhu helped pass on the message. I happened to be delivering flowers to my aunt, and when I saw Baozhu running away and sweating profusely, I took the initiative to ask Ying to take care of you. Before Eleven Niang could speak, Yingniang smiled and said, Aunt, please don’t

He blames me for making my own decision. I'm also afraid of delaying my trip to Yaowang Temple tomorrow. This kid is very observant.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly and wanted to ask Xu Sijie why he was here. Thinking of what she said just now that she only woke up when Ying Niang admitted her mistake, she swallowed her words again and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do. You don't have to"

I'm nervous. Send someone to talk to your fourth cousin-in-law and tell her not to worry.

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Xiang came over to her mother with her child in her arms. I heard that you are not feeling well. Where do you feel uncomfortable?

That's the bad thing about having someone visit me when I'm fine. I have to keep repeating the answer I agree with.

Yingying twisted her body in Ru Niang's arms and asked Eleven Niang to hold her.

Eleven Niang hugged Yingying and put her on the kang. She immediately climbed to the window and stretched out her hand to catch the goldfish.

Mrs. Xiang was startled, climbed up on the kang and was about to grab the child. Eleven Niang had already smiled and carried Yingying to the bed. Xu Sichen and Mrs. Jiang arrived.

Mother, I heard Sese say that you are not feeling well. He looks a little anxious, what is wrong with you?

Although Ying Niang is taking care of her, she is a guest after all.

Mrs. Jiang felt uneasy, so she sent someone to report the news to Xu Sichen in the outer courtyard as soon as she left the house.

I have nothing to do. Eleven Niang smiled and asked her to sit down. She was about to send someone to tell you. Then she pointed to the Grand Master's chair aside for them to sit and asked about Mrs. Jiang's preparations for going to Yaowang Temple tomorrow.

Mrs. Jiang's heart finally fell to the ground when she saw Eleven Niang with a rosy face leaning on the big pillow. She answered Eleven Niang's questions carefully.

Ying Niang retreated softly.

Xu Sizhen and Mrs. Xiang listened carefully. Only the ignorant Yingying was making noises at the side, thinking that Mrs. Jiang was talking to her. Mrs. Xiang hurriedly took the child out.

Eleven Niang nodded slightly. She gave Jiang two tasks, and Jiang completed them well.

I'll leave tomorrow's affairs to you. Eleven Niang said with a smile that after finishing this work, you can take a good rest for a few days.

Mrs. Jiang said modestly: Mother's words are serious. Mother Song, who only cares about the Qing family, is helping me. I'm just talking.

Eleven Niang thought about Jiang's fluent reply just now, and she had obviously put a lot of effort into it. She smiled and served the tea: Now that everything has been explained, you should go back to the house and have a rest. Recharge yourself so that you can go to Yaowang Temple tomorrow.

The two of them responded respectfully and went out of the inner room. They saw Ying Niang sitting on the big kang in the west room facing the window. Mrs. Xiang was sitting beside her with her child in her arms.

Fourth cousin, fourth cousin, you are going back. Xiang Niang stood up with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded, teasing Yingying.

Xu Sizhen picked up a cut window flower and said, "Why did you cut it? It was not for the New Year or the festival. Why did you suddenly cut the window flower? It was a magpie climbing on the branch."

Isn’t Sister Xier who is next to my fifth cousin about to get married soon? Yingniang said with a smile, “I am busy doing things, so I will cut some window frames and give them to her.”

He knew about this. Manager Bai just said that he would hire some maids to work in Xu Sijie's house.

Xu Sizhen, who had a good cut, smiled and said, I might as well give the window flowers for this year's New Year to my eldest cousin.

I'm not going to do it. Ying Niang laughed and joked with Xu Sizhen that there are so many windows in the house. From now on, I won't be able to finish them until the Chinese New Year. Besides, the window huts in the grocery store cost five pennies.

Is it a loss if I cut so many window paintings for you for free?

Xu Sizhen heard what she said was interesting and laughed and said: It turns out that my eldest cousin likes brother Kong Fang. If she sees him, he will cut the window huā, but if he doesn't, he won't cut it.

All three people laughed.

What can you say to be so happy? Xu Sijie came in from outside. Did his mother wake up and say something was wrong? His eyes immediately fell on Ying Niang.

Mom said it was okay. Ying Niang smiled and said, "I think I'm just tired and want to take a rest."

Xu Sijie's skin faded for a moment.

Xu Sichen asked curiously: How did you know that your mother was not feeling well?

I've seen my mother depressed in the past two days, he said, and I felt a little worried. I told Mr. Chang to come over and have a look. I didn't expect that my mother was really uncomfortable.

Xu Sizhen was a little ashamed.

He also felt that his mother was a little unhappy, but he did not think of coming to see her.

Yingniang saw clearly and said hurriedly: Fourth cousin, fourth cousin, let's have dinner with my aunt later. There are more people and it's more lively. Maybe my aunt's mood will get better.

Okay, Xu Sichen said hurriedly, we will bring brother Ting over later.

The atmosphere will be better when children are around.

After everyone discussed it, they dispersed.

Xu Sijie and Yingniang went to the inner room, chatted with Eleven Niang for a long time, and had lunch together while waiting for Brother Jin to finish school. In the afternoon, Xu Sijie and Brother Jin went to school, and Eleven Niang and Yingniang chose to go to Yaowang.

The clothes and jewelry worn in the temple. In the evening, everyone gathered around to have dinner together.

Xu Lingyi is back.

He was surprised to see a room full of people.

Dad, you are back. Brother Jin was the first to jump out and greet you happily.

Xu Lingyi smiled and put her arms around her son's shoulders. Then Eleven Niang stood up and said, "Master Hou, if the dinner is not used yet, I'll ask the kitchen to add some dishes."

She was smiling and looked the same as usual. But people familiar with her could still tell that her eyes were cold.
Chapter completed!
